  • It looks like this has been deleted, but uou just posted a question in a parenting community asking how to talk to your son about puberty. He’s twelve. He needs personal space and privacy, and he definitely needs to be sleeping in his own bed. Imagine how awful and confusing it would be for him to have a wet dream while in bed with you.

    Please set a boundary here for his own good. And get to the bottom of why he can’t sleep.

    Also I feel like you’ve posted about this before?
















  • Country music. That twangy sound is super grating to me, I hate the way certain vowels get stretched out, plus I have no cultural touchpoints with it on either a lyrical or musical level. The stuff that seems most popular is the most obnoxious to me. I’m told this is “the Nashville sound”. Different strokes for different folks, but I sincerely don’t get the appeal of it.

    But there’s some country-adjacent music that can be alright. E.g., my husband got really into Sturgill Simpson and I ended up more or less liking his Sound and Fury album, even if some of the vocals do have that irritating twang. I guess I’d consider that more like country-infused rock.

    And I guess some older country can be OK once in a while - e.g., Johnny Cash, Dolly Parton.
